Even after the Giants' dramatic win over the Cowboys last Sunday, fans were concerned over the team's shaky defense. The Giants yielded 34 more points, bringing their season total to 349. No other NFC East team has allowed more than 292 points.

This comment by Joseph is scary: "When you have a chance to make a tackle, go make the tackle. We had a couple plays where if we just made the tackle, he never would have gotten that much yardage." Isn't tackling the offensive player on every play the role of the defensive players when playing football? Someone commented on the lack of intelligence of the players drafted by the Giants......huuummmm....

It really bothers me that these defensive players actually think that their play is acceptable. While "statistics may lie" the proof of how bad this defense is, remains evident by their inability to get off of the field. No Giants lead is safe, and the fans have not witnessed a stout defense all year other than in brief spurts. How would Kenny Phillips know how the defense is playing anyhow? He is so far removed from the action that he couldn't possibly have a clue as to what is going on at the line of scrimmage or linebacker level! This defensive system is broken and needs a radical fix starting with the firing of the coordinator once this season ends.
